Profile:

Alan Igglesden is one of the great English fast bowlers that never was. Dogged by injury, he never achieved what his ability promised. A high, whippy action followed a vigorous approach to the crease, where every inch of his slender, 6'6" frame caused awkward bounce for the batsman.

Debuting for Kent in 1986, Igglesden won his cap in 1989, taking 56 first-class wickets, and earned a place in the team for the final Test against Australia. He performed well enough (taking three wickets on a flat pitch, as England avoided defeat for only the second time in the series) to win a spot on the England A tour to Zimbabwe that winter. He also enjoyed a successful stint in South African domestic cricket, representing Western Province in 1987-88, and Boland in 1992-93, where he took his career-best performance of 7-28 (12-66 in the match) against Griqualand West, and claimed 39 wickets at an average of just 11 in the season. The biggest benefit of his winter abroad was his acquisition of the outswinger, to help compensate for the gradual loss of pace caused by his injuries.

At the start of 1993 the selectors decided that he had developed into a genuine Test player, but a succession of injuries robbed him of the opportunity of taking the field against Australia. Neither fully fit not at full pace, he underperformed in the West Indies, where he played his final two Tests at the start of the England tour. Awarded a testimonial in 1998 by Kent (raising £145,000), he could manage only 70 overs as injury again intervened. Representing Berkshire in the Minor Counties Championship in 1999 he suffered an epileptic fit in July. Upon investigation doctors found an inoperable, but non-cancerous brain tumour, that has since been successfully treated by medication.
